HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and
level to use to cook different types of food. Cooking
times start from the moment food is placed in the
oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking
temperatures and times are approximate and depend
on the amount of food and the type of accessory
used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin
with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then
switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied
and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and
baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware
pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking
times will be slightly longer
. DESSERTS
• Cook delicate desserts with the conventional
function on one shelf only. Use dark-coloured metal
baking pans and always place them on the wire shelf
supplied.
• Use dark-coloured metal baking pans and always
place them on the wire shelf supplied.
• To check whether a leavened cake is cooked, insert
a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the
toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
• If using non-stick cake tins, do not butter the edges
as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.
• If the item “swells” during baking, use a lower
temperature next time and consider reducing the
amount of liquid you add or stirring the mixture more
gently
MEAT
• Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the
size of the piece of meat being cooked.
For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to the
bottom of the dish, basting the meat during cooking
for added flavour. Please note that steam will be
generated during this operation.
When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for
another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium foil.
• When grilling pieces of meat, choose cuts of the
same thickness to obtain even cooking. Very thick
pieces of meat require longer cooking times. To
prevent the meat from burning on the outside, lower
the position of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther
away from the grill. Turn the meat two thirds of the
way through cooking. Take care when opening the
door as steam will escape.
To collect the cooking juices, we recommend placing
a dripping pan filled with 200 ml of drinking water
directly underneath the wire shelf on which the food
is placed. Refill as necessary.
